ADO.Net Oracle Entities

Progress Delivers an ADO.NET for Oracle Solution with Full Entity Framework Support

The ADO.NET Entity Framework makes .NET application development more efficient and flexible by enabling developers to define a schema of meaningful business data entities, map those entities to a relational database schema, and then code against those business entities rather than directly against the relational schema. To fully leverage the power of entities schemas and entities mapping in an Oracle database environment, distributed applications require an ADO.NET data provider for Oracle that fully supports the ADO.NET Entity Framework. Progress® DataDirect Connect® for ADO.NET delivers a high-performance Oracle data provider with complete Entity Framework support.
